Domaine des Lambrays : Clos des Lambrays Grand cru 2017

A great Clos des Lambrays wine that delights with its balance and complexity

The estate

In the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis on the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine des Lambrays owns almost the entire "Clos des Lambrays" Grand Cru, whose exceptional terroir gives rise to wines that are recognised as among the most illustrious in Burgundy.

Entranced by the passion, skill and high standards embodied by this Burgundy estate, the luxury group LVMH acquired the property in 2014 with the mission of ensuring its sustainability, notably through high-precision parcel work, organic farming certification and ongoing conversion to biodynamics, as well as the renovation of the cellars and the acquisition of new plots in 2021.

The vineyard

This Grand Cru is a wine from Clos des Lambrays, which belongs almost entirely to the Domaine des Lambrays, owner of 8.24 hectares. The plot, on gentle slopes, has a diversity of great exposures. The top of the Clos has a marly soil, while the bottom is of clay-limestone.

The vintage

The early and even flowering came before a summer season with perfect conditions, without too much heat. The harvests, which took place at the beginning of September, were carried out under the best auspices in cool and sunny weather.

Winemaking and ageing

Ageing in oak casks, renewed for half of each vintage in the estate’s cellars.

Blend

Pinot Noir (100%)
